…from my e-friend Chas Griffin who encountered DV in Wales. Chas swears it was definitely him, although DV had lost a lot of weight and tried disguise himself in green-blue (not his colour).
Chas, by the way, is a fabulously entertaining and funny writer. He is one of those lucky few people who have self-published their first book to great acclaim and popularity and then have it picked by a major publishing house for a new edition. His Scenes from a Smallholding will be published next month by Ebury, an imprint of Random House. Scenes is a very amusing yet practical and useful account of ‘downshifting’ and starting an organic smallholding literally from scratch. It is so compelling and page-turning that you do not need to be an aspiring smallholder to immensely enjoy it.
Before the new edition is published you can acquire what will no doubt become a very rare first edition of Scenes directly from Chas. Here you can read extracts, see some of the characterful illustrations, read glowing reviews from around the world and even buy the book.
